I disagree with the notion that everyone deserves a college degree or even needs a college degree or is even smart enough to be in college. Whatever happened to Trades & Crafts? I know electricians that are doing quite well along with construction workers and other folk. I think the boom under Trump will create many of these jobs.

I certainly don’t believe a ‘student’ doesn’t deserve an education (through student loans backed by government, grants or other minority considerations) in ‘Counseling, history, art, music, literature, black/yellow/brown or other studies, gender-studies, psychology, sociology, bitter womens’ studies or any of that crap.

The education they should be getting should be focused toward contributing to society - not its downfall through constant carping, complaining and demonstrating about the ‘ills’ heaped upon their worthless snowflake asses.

In a segment last night on Fox, Tucker interviewed Mike Rowe of the "Dirty Jobs" series. Rowe said he knows welders making six-figure incomes working on the Dakota pipeline. Then again, that involves being stuck out in the Dakotas working in winter.

In the Philadelphia area, I see lots of welder job listings offering $20-30/hour, full time, with benefits. One job offered $45/hour as a contractor.

or is even smart enough to be in college

About 5-7% of the twelfth-grade population is smart enough to be in a real college.

Wanna find millionaires?
Go look for guys who have run their plumbing or HVAC businesses for 10-20 years...
Good service, and hard work will pay off.
